2021-08-04 - The organ was installed in two chambers framing the chancel. each chamber sported an impressive facade. The Great, Choir, and part of the Pedal were on one side; while the Swell, Solo, and remainder of the Pedal were on the opposite side. The church was closed in 1945 and razed in 1946. -Jim Stettner
